Super Cultivation System of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1102 Wang Yun Chain
In the imperial palace, inside Liu Zheng’s bedroom.

After being treated by two great doctors, Hua Tuo and Zhang Zhongjing, Liu Zheng has now fully recovered his memory and his body has been fully healed.

At this late hour, he did not go to bed, but stood in front of the window, looking at the crescent moon, with a hint of sadness between his brows.

A eunuch came over with his head down and said, "Your Highness, it's time to go to bed."

Liu Zheng turned around and glanced at him: "It's Xiao Anzi, go and have a rest, and leave me alone."

Xiao Anzi looked at Liu Zheng's sad face and couldn't help asking, "Your Highness, are you missing the village girl who saved you?"

Liu Zheng nodded: "Yes. You have been in the palace since you were young and have served me for many years. You really understand my thoughts."

Xiao Anzi said, "I think your majesty and the queen are not the kind of people who are prejudiced against each other. Why don't you explain it clearly so that you can bring the girl into the palace?"

Liu Zheng shook his head repeatedly: "Of course I know that my father and mother will not discriminate against Xiaojuan, but the court officials will definitely discuss it and advise against it at the court meeting. Now that my third uncle and the imperial grandmother have just passed away, the government affairs are extremely chaotic. How can I let my father worry again for my own personal affairs? Moreover, it is inappropriate to mention this matter during the period of mourning for the imperial grandmother."

After that, he waved his hand and said, "Go away. Don't bother with me."

Xiao Anzi looked at him, but hesitated to speak.

Seeing that he had not yet left, Liu Zheng asked, "Why, is there anything else?"

Xiao Anzi hesitated and said, "It's not a big deal, it's just... I just heard a rumor."

Liu Zheng frowned and asked, "What rumor?"

Xiao Anzi pursed his lips but didn't say anything directly, which made Liu Zheng a little unhappy: "Why, are you still hiding something from me?"

"I dare not. I absolutely dare not..."

Xiao Anzi knelt down on the ground with a plop: "It's just...it's just that this matter has not been confirmed yet, and I don't know whether it's true or not, so I dare not speak nonsense."

"Whether it's true or not, tell me first."

"Yes..." Xiao Anzi said, "I heard from a guard on duty that many ruffians have been harassing the Miao family members recently, asking them to..."

Before he could finish his words, Liu Zheng rushed over and said, "What? Who is so bold? Don't they know that they are the benefactors of my royal family?"

Xiao Anzi also had a bitter look on his face: "Those cowardly bandits are blinded by money, how could they care about these things? Although the Miao family has received commendations and rewards from His Majesty, we are just ordinary people after all. With so much money in our hands, it is inevitable that others will covet us... and..."

"And what?" Liu Zheng asked anxiously.

Xiao Anzi said terrified, "Moreover... I also heard that the leader of those bandits is a bully who roams more than ten villages outside Luoyang City. His name is Niu Ye. He has already sent people to guard all the passages out of Sanshui Village. Not only do they come to cause trouble every day, but they also have to prevent the Miao family from escaping..."

"hateful!"

Liu Zheng slapped the wooden pillar next to him and said, "The Miao family members are all kind-hearted people. If they are bullied like this, they will just hide away."

He suddenly remembered something, looked up at the sky, and then his pupils dilated rapidly.

"Not good. It's dark and windy tonight. Who knows, the Miao family might escape under the cover of darkness. Or the bandits might attack the Miao family at night and set a fire, saying that it was an accidental fire that killed people..."

As the saying goes, "care leads to confusion." Although Liu Zheng has a relatively calm temperament, he is young and hot-tempered after all. Moreover, when it comes to his beloved, how can he remain calm? The more he thought about it, the more he felt that his guess was right, and he couldn't help it.

"Quick, prepare the horse, I want to leave the palace!"

Xiao Anzi was shocked and hurriedly stopped him: "Your Highness, have you forgotten that His Majesty has issued an order that you are not allowed to leave the palace for half a year during the mourning period? Unless you go to get His Majesty's order, you must not be reckless." Liu Zheng couldn't wait any longer, he pushed Xiao Anzi away and said: "My father must be resting by now. He has worked hard for the country for days. How can I disturb him? Moreover, even if I go to ask for an order, my father will not agree. Don't say anything more, and prepare the horses quickly. The guards of the Imperial Guards at the Middle East Gate are old acquaintances of mine. They are old soldiers of Bingzhou and will not stop me. Go!"

Seeing that he was so anxious, Xiao Anzi knew that he could not stop him, so he had to retreat quickly and prepare the horses.

Not long after, at the east gate of the imperial palace, a man riding a white horse sped away. The sound of horse hooves echoed in the streets outside the palace gate and lingered for a long time.

After a while, the lights in the study room in the backyard of Wang Yun's mansion were brightly on, and several figures could be vaguely seen outside the window.

A servant came to the door of the study and knocked on it, saying, "My Lord, everything went well. His Highness has already left the palace."

"That's great!" A middle-aged man's happy voice came from inside the house, but he was immediately scolded by an old man.

"How can you yell so much?"

Judging from the voice, it is clearly Wang Yun.

Wang Yun said to the servant at the door, "I understand. Pass the order down and act according to the plan."

"Yes." The servant responded and left.

Another house two blocks away is the residence of General Zhu Ye.

After Cheng Liang's death, Zhu Ye cried all day long and drank to drown his sorrows. It took him several months to come out of the shadow.

However, since then, Zhu Ye has become increasingly strict with his three sons, especially with his ten-year-old eldest son Zhu Zheng, and his eight-year-old second son Zhu Han. He would personally train them until late at night almost every day, fearing that they would not learn well when they are young and he would have to bury them in the end.

At this time, he had just taken his two sons, who had been exhausted from training again, to take a medicinal bath. He personally carried the children, who had fallen asleep in the bathtub, to bed to rest. He sat on the bed, looked at them for a while, and then got up and left.

The first wife Zhen Yao came over holding a lantern. Seeing her husband's exhausted face and looking at her son who was already asleep, she felt sorry for him.

"Alas, the two children are still young, why are you so harsh on them?"

Zhu Ye said unhappily, "What do you mean by still young? When my elder brother and I were their age, we trained every day in the hills behind my elder brother's house. Our lives were not necessarily easier than theirs, and our food and clothing expenses were far less than they are now."

Talking about the things that happened in Huangshui Township, Zhu Ye immediately looked a little sad: "Alas... If Third Brother had trained harder back then, who knows..."

Zhen Yao knew that her husband was missing Cheng Liang again, so she quickly changed the subject.

"My husband is an hour later tonight than usual, but what's on your mind?"

As a married couple for more than ten years, Zhen Yao guessed something as soon as she saw the look between his brows.

Zhu Ye came to a stone table in the yard and sat down, looking up at the moonlight.

"I can't explain it either, but I have a vague feeling that something is going to happen tonight. I can't sleep anyway, so I might as well train the two kids for a while longer."

Zhen Yao knew that her husband had a reputation as a lucky general. When she heard him say that, she couldn't help but feel nervous: "Now that the north has been settled, Yizhou has surrendered, the Sun family is lingering in Jiangdong, and Luoyang City is like an iron barrel, what else can happen?"

Zhu Ye shook his head: "I can't explain it, but I feel uneasy in my heart."

At this time, the guard in the palace came running over and said, "General, the captain of the city gate at the east gate of Luoyang City said he has something important to report."

Zhu Ye's eyes widened and he stood up suddenly: "Damn it, something really happened!"
